Where to Stay in Kimberley
Milner House sits in Kimberley's historic Memorial Road area: central, quiet and within easy reach of everything worth seeing in the Northern Cape's diamond city.
Choosing where to stay in Kimberley comes down to one thing: how close you are to the things you came for. Milner House is set on Milner Street in the city's leafy, historic Memorial Road area: a calm residential quarter of grand diamond-era homes, yet only minutes from the museums, the Big Hole and the CBD.
A central base in Kimberley
From our front door it is a two-minute drive to the McGregor Museum and the surrounding heritage homes, while the Big Hole, the Sol Plaatje Museum and the city centre are all a five-minute drive away.

Getting around
Kimberley is a compact, easy city to drive in, and most attractions have parking. We recommend driving or taking a taxi between attractions rather than walking. If you would rather not drive, we are happy to help arrange airport transfers or point you toward local taxi and e-hailing options when you arrive.
The neighbourhood
The Memorial Road area is one of the most pleasant parts of Kimberley to stay in: tree-lined, quiet at night, and full of the city's early-1900s character. It keeps you away from the bustle while putting the diamond-rush history, the restaurants and the business district all within a short hop.
